题目解答
答案
C. deviated
解析
本题考查词汇辨析,解题的关键在于理解句子的语境,即船没有按照约定的航程行驶,然后分析每个选项的含义,看哪个选项能准确表达“未按约定航程”这一意思。
- A选项“deducted”:“deducted”是“deduce”的过去式,“deduce”常见的意思是“扣除;演绎”。例如:You can deduct the cost of the materials from your total expenses.(你可以从总开支中扣除材料费用。)在本题中,“扣除”与船的行驶情况毫无关联,不符合句子语境,所以A选项不正确。
- B选项“recoiled”:“recoiled”是“recoil”的过去式,“recoil”主要表示“后退;弹回; recoiled”通常用于描述物体因受到外力作用而向后反弹,或者人因恐惧、厌恶等情绪而退缩。例如:The gun recoiled when it was fired.(枪开火时向后反冲。)He recoiled in horror at the sight of the snake.(他看到蛇吓得往后退。)在本题中,“后退”不能准确表达船没有按照约定航程行驶的意思,不符合语境,所以B选项不正确。
- C选项“deviated”:“deviated”是“deviate”的过去式,“deviate”的意思是“偏离;背离”。例如:The plane deviated from its normal flight path.(飞机偏离了正常的飞行路线。)在本题中,“deviated from the agreed voyage”表示船偏离了约定的航程,符合句子所描述的情况,所以C选项正确。
- D选项“radiated”:“radiated”是“radiate”的过去式,“radiate”有“辐射;发出;流露”等意思。例如:The sun radiates heat and light.(太阳发出光和热。)She radiated confidence.(她显得很自信。)在本题中,“辐射”与船的行驶情况没有关系,不符合句子语境,所以D选项不正确。
